As a youth he studied at the minor seminary at Pleaux before he joined the major seminary at Saint-Flour in 1859, and was ordained a priest in 1864. He was assigned to a country parish in Roannes-Saint-Mary, where he served for nine years as a diocesan priest until he decided to enter the Society of Jesus.

  • Kateri Tekakwitha

    baptised as Catherine Tekakwitha and informally known as Lily of the Mohawks (1656 – April 17, 1680), was an Algonquin-Mohawk Catholic virgin and religious laywoman. Born in present-day New York, she survived smallpox and was orphaned as a child, then baptized as a Roman Catholic and settled for the last years of her life at the Jesuit mission village of Kahnawake, south of Montreal in New France.
    Tekakwitha professed a vow of virginity until her death at the age of 24.

  • Anna Schäffer

    Anna was born on February 18, 1882, in staunchly Roman Catholic Bavaria, Germany, to a mother who raised her to be a good Christian. Her family was not rich but it was a Christian family. She was a strong and healthy girl and she was among the best in school.
    MOST people often perceive suffering and illness as a curse or a punishment from God. However, to some faithful, pain and suffering means an opportunity to offer one’s self to God, to submit to His will and identify with the sufferings of Jesus Christ for the sake of redeeming mankind.from: http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/sunday-times/the-sunday-times-magazines/122-spirituality/15552-blessed-anna-schaffer-a-life-of-pain-and-suffering


How did these Seven Blesseds Servant of God become a Saint? I mean what are the requirements to be Canonized as a Saint? or what are the steps/process to be Canonized as a Saint?

For me, it's a long discussion but i give you a brief info. From Wikipedia Article about Canonization, the steps to canonization:

  • "Servant of God" - the process leading towards canonization begins at the diocesan level.
  • "Declaration 'Non Cultus'" - at some point, permission is then granted for the body of the Servant of God to be exhumed and examined, a certification ("non cultus") is made that no superstitious or heretical worship or improper cult has grown up around the servant or his or her tomb, and relics are taken.
  • "Blessed" - Beatification is a statement by the church that it is "worthy of belief" that the person is in heaven, having come to salvation. This step depends on whether the Venerable is a martyr or a "confessor".
  • Finally, "Saint" (contracted "St" or "S.") - to be canonized a saint, at least three miracles must have been performed after death of a Servant of God.
